A WORD FROM OUR PATIENTS:
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
" I had back pain for 20+ years and had to see numerous doctors and no body was able to help. After fracturing my back and being referred to dr Verma, he did a spinal fusion on my back and now I feel great. he is the best and a very caring doctor 10/10 would recommend."
"Dr. Verma provided me with excellent medical care and warm human interaction. His honesty, in letting me know what I was facing and what he could and could not do, was refreshing and gave me confidence in his recommendations. My decompression surgery was totally successful in relieving my pain. My recovery has been steady and easier than I anticipated."
"Dr. Verma is a very detailed surgeon. He cares about his patients and their well-being."
I have worked with orthopedic surgeons for years and Dr Verma has gained my trust over the last year and a half. He listens, he is supportive and has a good sense of humor which is required for my care. He has done in-depth diagnostics and to-date non surgical treatment. I am at my lowest pain level with improved mobility. I highly recommend Dr Verma!
Dr. Verma has been attentive, supportive & compassionate.His follow-up during my husband's recovery continues to be caring and is greatly appreciated!!
